Description

This introduction to computer architectures which use optical fibre interconnections describes the basic optical concepts needed to understand the subject, and covers optical devices for optical computing, optical associative memories, optical interconnections and optical logic. Many examples of proposed optical systems are given, along with exercises and solutions.
